They really did an outstanding job with the aesthetics. I could just walk around town and look at the neon lights to take in all the details. Seriously impressive stuff. Already preordered.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

that's what we did :P

[@deshawnsin3040]

Yeah, I stared at everything for a really long time lol - Semy from NP

[@Gloomistic]

- Kuudere Protagonist - Gorgeous Pixel/Cyberpunk world - Noir storytelling (my favorite genre) - Awesome voice acting - Cover art by Ilya Kuvshinov Can't wait to play this one tonight.

[@deshawnsin3040]

Hope you enjoy the game! - Semy from NP

[@frankmarano1118]

Oh a kuudere? As if I didnt want to buy it enough based on the aesthetics alone, now you've just sold me on it lol

[@wallacerigby4393]

This looks amazing! This is why I’m subscribed for these hidden gems.

[@deshawnsin3040]

Thank you so much for watching! - Semy from NP

[@svanir7619]

This one's been on my radar for awhile, glad to see it out, and that it's turned out to be really great. This will serve a good distraction from Elden Ring for times when I'm playing like garbage.

[@danwallace4745]

Same, my friend, same. ^_^

[@deshawnsin3040]

Haha, yeah, I think this will be a welcome distraction - Semy from NP

[@TheLoneGamr]

Which for me is all the time. I suck at that game.

[@danwallace4745]

@@TheLoneGamr I feel you there. I've just ground out levels and brute force my way through bosses, but the struggle is real..!!

[@mandalorianroby2542]

i pre ordered the deluxe edition based on the sweet aesthetics. very glad to discover it's an all round gem

[@deshawnsin3040]

Nice buy. Hope you enjoy! - Semy from NP

[@neocodexx]

Me too. It was well worth it. It was one of those rare games you just knew instantly its going to be great just by looking at it. Already having more fun with this than Cyberbug 2077.

[@thekittenthatwantschicken8018]

i regret not preordering deluxe cause the music is lovely

[@wheelerd00d]

Just picked it up. Thanks for the awesome review!

[@siemprepalante773]

Great review. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks.

[@mondherbouazizi4433]

Added it to my wishlist on LRG, and will order it as soon as it pops up :) Thanks for the great review!

[@otgrey3927]

I literally heard of this game on the 13th (Sunday), I'm so happy this review is out. Hope it's just as good on the PS4!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Oh yay you didn’t have to wait long

[@ohmyupoorchild]

Thanks for reviewing this! It looks really awesome

[@Justmeandmy20cents]

Just platinumed Anno and was blown away with the game. Wanted to see if others agreed online, looks like they have a classic game in their hands. Truly outstanding game and easily Indie game of the year for me! I want more though... Much more!

[@ZahnGamingx]

Ikr! I hope they make a sequel and in the meantime imma try Va11ha11a

[@devilgames2217]

How's the platinum difficulty, time and any missables? Gonna buy the deluxe edition once it goes on sale/ later this year.

[@ZahnGamingx]

@@devilgames2217 its not bad. The only collectibles you need are the nekos and the posters. I took my time playing this game so it just took me a few days

[@weertangel7231]

I was keeping a eye on this one but damn! it looks amazing! way better then i thought it would. and considering its not to long but not to short makes it ideal for me. thanks for the great review!

[@deshawnsin3040]

You're so so welcome, thanks for watching! - Semy from NP

[@mathewhosier9739]

It's definitely a bit too short for my tastes, was expecting at least 25-30 hours for the price

[@TheHokkaidogaijin]

I normally don't play games like this, but the music the aesthetics and the tight gameplay made me get it. And I just love the Japanese aspects!

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Coming soon as a physical release (PS4 and PS5) at Limited Run Games - an open pre-order from March 25 until April 24. I’m gonna have to get this one as it looks amazing!

[@redcrimson1028]

I want the physical copy but I hate limited run and thier bad 1 year until you get your game practices. I'll never order from them again, so I guess no physical for me. I rather pay ebay prices, at least I know I'll be getting the game.

Just saw LRG is releasing this so I wanted to check it out. Looks just like my jam! I love Deus EX, the old Blade Runner adventure game... thanks for the review, I'm def getting this now.

You’ve sold me, good review.

[@rookless4121]

Definitely gonna put this one on my list. Hopefully I'll get around to it after I beat Eastward.

This AND Eastward, you have a great taste 👍🏽

need something to scratch my NieR:Automata itch while waiting for Project Eve to be announced/released and this (ANNO: Mutationem) caught my eye now i’m doing my homework before buying thanks so much for the review, i subbed ❤️☺️

Didn't get the Noisy hype for this title until this review, dear lord looks like a gem.

Does this game have new game plus mode feature after beating the final boss?

I am so glad to see that this game got a great review. It is my most anticipated game for the last 2 years (not exaggerating), and I can't wait to buy and play it tomorrow on release.

[@deshawnsin3040]

Glad to hear! Hope you enjoy playing it ^^ - Semy from NP

[@orion10x10]

What do you think?

[@ruffethereal1904]

You convinced me to buy. The lower price tag for a shorter indie game is also enticing. I hope this game gets the developer success and fame, I always love more in-depth additions to cyberpunk and side-scrolling combat both.

[@deshawnsin3040]

Glad we could convince ya, thanks for watching! - Semy from NP

[@mathewhosier9739]

Wish it was a little bit longer, but wish there were more combat sections, I found the story and characters a bit lackluster and super cringe, main character reminded me of my weird woke neice

[@madcat4563]

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this finally came out on xbox as well. Honestly, this is one of the games that I would like to see in 4k as a first-time experience.

[@MaJuV]

Honestly, this wasn't even on my radar. But it looks very interesting. :-O

[@saysoun752]

Second time watching this video just to make sure I'm still interested in this game. Yep, will preorder the game tomorrow from LRG.

Can you change the combat suit? Are all the outfits only for the open world?

@@NoisyPixelNews yeah basically went for the digital collector's edition since free check and can't wait to play it after work

[@iAzajar]

When the game first released, I had NO idea what it was about, so I searched KZbin for a review or even just a video clip. Saw Noisy Pixel on the list, clicked it immediately. As I've said before, NP has become one of the few remaining outfits I know (just a handful or even less now) that keeps it PURELY about the games and the gamers, period. Most places have become about politics & activism & sermons on what gamers/customers "shouldn't" like. Right after watching the video, I picked the game up & just fell in love w/ it. My comment is a little late because of RL, but I just wanna throw a quick thanks to you guys for this short & sweet review which led me to an awesome & gorgeous game. My only nitpick w/ the game itself is, as the review said, I felt it was a little too short. But then again, some might argue that us "wanting more" is WAY better than the alternative. A side note for NP: I know you gave high praise to the art & aesthetics, which is ABSOLUTELY true, but you should've emphasized a specific shout-out to the character designs. I mean, whether visually or just in general, the developers' designs were second to no one.

[@ElJorro]

This game is also takes place in the world of the SCP foundation. They make very blatant call outs to certain popular well known SCPs and characters from the foundation.

Agree heavily

[@ciarangaffey]

This looks good but the male-gazey character styling brings it down somewhat for me

[@Nikzzza]

Everything else about the game seems so good when looking at clips of the gameplay but the start of the story and the things I read around until leaving Alan's lab at the start felt like they were written to try and get you interested in what's happening but failed miserably. When I read the same "I need to combine *blank* with *blank*" 5 or 6 times in under 2minutes with various different flavour texts around it about moldy hamburger bread and wrong orders(he wanted noodles or something I can't remember, but got delivered hamburgers every time) to constant errors of the code didn't rise my hopes for the story telling, especially when in one datalog entry or what ever they were on the floor the two things suddenly didin't happen to be blanked. Jumping during the "tutorial" portion felt quite awful honestly and the hit registration on when enemies hit you felt really weird vs the animations. And the initial feeling to the combat over all felt like something you might have during developement for the concept of what it'll be. Overall I really wanted to like the game but it just felt so awful to play and the writing at the start didn't help at all. Ended up being the first game I've refunded in steam. Maybe they'll polish stuff at some point later and I'm happy to give it another go but for now I just couldn't play it.

[@arnieanime2792]

If this game wasn't so pixelized (if that's a word) it'd be more appealing to me. Becuase what's the point of having sexy clothing if you can't even appreciate it?

I was exited but this looks very clunky and unfinished
